Thanks for the info! I have a seed mat that I'll try...

I just ordered this yeast and just started to think about the temps and realized that I cant really keep the temps up in the 80's and above. low to mid 70's at best. Should I still use or table until the summer?

Thank you, the calculator is a real help!

I have a recipe that is asking for 250B cells of Wyeast#3711. I wanted to see how many packs I need for both a non-starter and a 1L starter. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

Yes I know there are umpteenmillion posts on weather or not to secondary. Looks to me like only if you are going to add some fruit or wood etc. I brewed a milk stout almost 3 weeks ago. I want to add in some additional vanilla beans and coffee to the mix. I'm thinking I can do this without...

So, I'm going to pitch another package of 05 this weekend just to see what happens. If I get some action, I'll let it ride and bottle for Christmas.

Thanks, never thought about the yeast part.....

OK, so I started an Irish Red for this past St Patrick's Day and never got around to bottling it. The beer has been kept at around 70 degrees in a capped car buoy since March. Never open the top since I transferred it to the secondary. Is the beer still OK to drink/bottle/keg, or do I need to...

Finally got the go ahead for the beer shed. I want to install a triple tap kegerator and wanted to know if it is possible to run two standard taps with CO2 and then a third with nitrogen. I understand that there will need to be two separate tanks but are there any other pitfalls that I need to...

Thanks! Just needed a bit of handholding there before I rack the ale onto the peaches.....Hoping for a good batch...

I am trying a peach Ale and now need to secondary the ale with the peaches. Can I use frozen peaches right out of the bag or do I need to sanitize the fruit in some way first?

I'm wanting to install a 2 tap kegerator under a cabinet but don't really have the $$$ for the bottom vent units. I was thinking about a custom build that would give me the counter and then build out vented doors in front of a standalone unit. It would have air space around the unit and I'm...

Yes, any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for all of the input, I am grateful for all of the information here. Brewing this weekend and will report back in a few weeks on how it turns out. I did just rack over a Hibiscus Saison this past weekend to the secondary and will dry hop on Saturday for 7 days, then bottle next...

So this is the process: 1. Sanitize everything, and keep bucket full of sanitizer and drop everything in after each use. 2. Filtered water into HLT 3. Mash 152 degrees, after 75 mins 148 4. Boil, 60 mins 5. Chill to 72(ish) degrees 6. transfer to glass carboy 7. Pitch yeast rehydrated WLP004...

I am wanting to take another step forward and purchase a conical fermenter so that I can keep the O2 out of the process, but I don't have the ability to purchase a SS system right yet. Has anyone had any experience with the Minibrew Conical Fermenter that Hobby Beverage offers? Pros and Cons?

I'm having a bit of trouble, consistently, that unless I have a high hoppy beer I get a higher than normal alcohol taste. Id say if I broke the taste up into three parts, the initial, the middle and the finish, the middle has the strong "estery" alcohol taste; Not an overall bad taste but very...

i brewed a Holiday beer that took quite a long time to begin fermentation but got going and ended up at around 1.012FG. 5gal batch good flavor, bottled with 5oz of sugar about 2 weeks ago. I have basically zero "0" carbonation. Bottles sat at 70 degrees for the entire 2 weeks. I even had 2...

Sucess! Well at least on the 5gal batch, thats the one with the new yeast. The 3 gal I think is a loss, no fermentation at all. I'm going to pitch a new bag of london Ale yeast tonight and hope fopr the best.....Thanks for all the help. Cheers!

The fermenters are indoors. the temp is set for 68 degrees... Yeast packs were: 2@ exp 3/10/18 those went into the 5gal batch and the single pack was a bit old exp 11/17/17
